One thing I've come to realize over the years is that "finance is key".. money answereth a lot of things.

If your parents have the money, you can earn millions of certificates and attend the best schools around the world.

@OP If you have the means , why not.. go for it and make sure you excel in your studies.

I strongly disagree with Mr. Yul on this.. Nollywood promotes money rituals in their movies and they must put a stop to it.

You see how these ab0kis are just wasting money..
If you talk, they'll say you're hateful. Niger Deltans are suffering from oil spill and other environmental challenges yet the small money left from sales of crude oil (not refined) still get wasted by the people in NNPC.

How did we get here as a nation?

DMerciful:
Where is the allocation coming from? The old eastern region! So technically, they're following their money

Your enclave was built with cocoa money from the West.. oil exploration in Oloibiri was funded with cocoa money and even up till today, South West generates over 60% revenue to feed you and your people in the East.

gentiles:
Yep, lagosians like Jandor? Go and read his declaration, he promised igbos more political positions if he becomes the Governor. Yoruba nation is doomed, our cowardice has ruined us.

It's the failure of the past generation Yorubas that led us to this present state coupled with the unchecked influx of outsiders whose states are receiving allocations yet still coming to cheat Yorubas and drag limited resources for survival with our people.

The story of Afonja and Alimi will be child's play to what will play out in coming years if care is not taken. We don't have leaders in Yorubaland but sellouts, it's very painful as a Yoruba person knowing your kids won't have a say in their lands with the way things are turning out.

gentiles:
Too late Bros. Lagos has already fallen into the hands of foreigners(igbos). There is nothing you guys can do about it. Yoruba claim to be accommodating and sophisticated, but I see them as spineless and docile people. Tinubu is the last line of defence, the day he falls is the day igbos will take over lagos state both politically and economically.

How do you guys come about your surreal claims? the Igbos that I know are mostly tenants in Lagos except a few into importation of electronics and spare parts.

Dangote's investments in Lagos alone is thrice the Igbo investments combined in South West.

You people will make Yorubas violent very soon with these acts of arrogance, transgression and greed to take over Yoruba ancestral lands.

There is no point chasing a girl like that cos she'll likely say yes to all the guys wooing her even if they number up to 15 and will find a way to be sleeping with all 15 of them.

JohnSin97:
I hate igbo arrogance and their involvement in our politics but I disagree with you on this, these guys didn't put a knife to anyone's neck asking them to sell the land to them, it was a business transaction that was carried out between two individuals and no body forced anyone to patronize their business or do business with them. If you're to blame anyone blame the leadership in the region and the inability of the indigenes to control their lands.

And who said I'm blaming the Igbos alone?
The Igbos came into Ladipo first as tenants and divided the market into Igbo wing and Yoruba wing yet the morons we have as leaders see nothing wrong in that.

Can Igbos allow Yorubas own a section of their markets in the East talkless of being the head man in the market?

Instead of the Igbos to go and develop their region and make their markets more visible on the map, it's existing markets in South West they'll be targeting and how to displace Yorubas and take full control of the place.

cktheluckyman:
Lol see pesin wey fulani people de kill everyday.Maybe when you deal with the fulanis we will start taking your childish threats serious

You think all is well but all is not.. I see Lagosians taking back Lagos soon.

One thing I love about this man PYO is his ability to balance education with wisdom.. He doesn't need to put/place other tribes above his own people to get accepted or loved, he just does his thing with common sense and make friends with every tribe just like it should be. Look at how he is loved all over the North and I'm sure if APC should field him, it's sure victory.

If only we could hear the husband's side of the story.. might be that the OP doesn't give him breathing space and is always monitoring and suspecting his every move.
The way some married women treat their husbands at home will shock most people but when they tell stories and play the victim card, you'll likely end up feeling sorry for them. All the best in your journey through divorce.

Urchman200:
i will be the last person to support intimidation on a anyone in the name of my tribe is superior than your own tribe, because i am vulnerable to injustice too,but to me the blame should be to the yuroba leader's who sold the land and collected money, i don't think igboman took that place by the use of force, so anger should be channelled to the right place, my opinion ooo.

You made valid points.. the campaign has started for Yorubas to stop selling off our ancestral lands to outsiders for money..
If worse comes to worst, the aggrieved traders can set the whole market ablaze including the warehouses they are using as a tool of intimidation.

This is why I strongly condemn this move of installing an ajoji as babaloja of Ladipo market. What is WRONG is WRONG and we must all condemn it.

This NNPC is just becoming worse by the day.

Refine crude oil.. una no fit.

Importation of refined products now have become wahala for them. How did we get here as a nation?

@OP If you like, let the girl go for abortion and die.. her blood will be on your head and you'll carry the guilt around for the rest of your life.

I don't know how some of you reason.. you know you can't take care of a child but you are having unprotected sex with the opposite gender. What exactly were you expecting as result from your copulation?

christistruth01:
Monday is an Over Loyal Tinubu boy from way back

That's not an excuse..
Tinubu should employ him as gurad or gardener in his house and not "babaloja" over Yorubas in Yorubaland.

Aseju baba yen ti n po ju.. we are not happy with his behaviour atal.

Ojiofor:
We are one people one nation,we have to stop this tribal nonsense and discrimination.God bless Nigeria!

Iyaloja or babaloja position is not political but a symbol of tradition in Yorubaland and only Yoruba descendants SHOULD occupy such posts.

God bless Nigeria.

cktheluckyman:
How many yoruba business are at Ladipo?

The Igbos first came into Ladipo market as tenants just like every other market but have now ganged up against the owners, taking over the whole place..

A revolution is coming cos we can't sit and watch Yorubaland fall to outsiders because of some people's political ambition.

Urchman200:
did igbos chase the mechanics people out of the market forcefully? Or was the land sold by the owners of the land,thereby chasing them away from the place? I am just asking politely?

Of course they sent them packing under the pretext of expanding and opening warehouses in Ladipo market area.. we've seen countless videos where Yoruba traders in Ladipo were lamenting about Igbo arrogance and insult on them, claiming they can chase the Yorubas away and buy up the whole place. The mechanics and other artisans there pleaded with Yoruba leaders not to sit and watch them lose their means of livelihood on their father's land because of politics and political correctness.

The positions of Iyaloja and babaloja are NOT political and are not meant to be used for political purposes. Tinubu-Ojo goofed big time on this one and the royal stools in Yorubaland aren't happy with her.

Mickykarim:
Like the Yoruba people would say "Omo ina la'ran si ina". Only a thief can trace and trail the footstep of another thief. The brilliance of the Shade Ojo, the Iya'Loja general.

Which yeye brilliance is that?
Why didn't she vacate her own seat as Iyaloja and appoint an Igbo woman to take her place as iyaloja?

I feel sorry for the Yoruba race.. we have shown to be naturally docile people. These guys will now push their ethnic domination agenda in Ladipo market and box out all Yoruba business owners there.. Oju gbogbo wa a ja gbeyin. iran golugo.

One person will sit down somewhere and say he/she is Tinubu and be misbehaving and nobody will be bold enough to challenge them. Let them go and try this in North and see if ab0kis won't deal with them. Nonsense!

Will the Igbos ever allow a Yoruba man head any market in the East?

Ladipo market now has little to no Yoruba businesses there because of Igbo traders flooding the entire place. The mechanics and all that are Yorubas have been sent packing and yet Tinubu-Ojo thinks this move is the best?

Well I'm not surprised.. when someone is handpicked to a position instead of years of experience, they'll end up making a mess of the place.

saphiere:
So who is from a wealthy home here? The boy who gave iPhone to underage girl or the underage girl?

In this case, it's the boy.. I might be wrong tho. but don't rule out that possibility.

So it's fuel station banter that is making you depressed

TBH we Nigerians are part of the
problems facing Nigeria.. we can criticize others but when we get the chance to make a change, we do exactly like those we love to criticize.

@OP Go easy on yourself and try to ammend your ways.. noone is perfect afterall.

BlaqJosh:
It's normal

No it's not..
She's never had a boyfriend before, not even one. c'mon.

I'm sure the OP knows within herself that it's not proper.
@OP Try to loosen up and mingle. you can always bear your mind to any guy that shows interest in you, he'll likely understand and not pester you much. Infact most guys would prefer a lady that is stress free.

@OP You can't be so sure.. some folks are lucky to have wealthy parents or guardians providing their needs. Some even inherit properties and big companies from deceased loved ones that can cater for their needs till they age, so don't rule out the story as false.

The present state of our economy can make a normal person develop mental health issues.. depression, anxiety etc. all contribute to mental health challenges. Substance abuse and excessive alcohol intake too have their effects.

I fear that the rate of mental health issues might skyrocket over the next 5 years with the high poverty, inflation and unemployment rate in the country. Our people and government are not helping matters atal. No be person wey get work or enough money for pocket go think of relationship or marriage?

ehemwhy:
Delta State should not be in this list ....so states like Kebbi,Jigawa,Sokoto ,Ebonyi,Yobe are doing better than Delta and Ondo states ? Issokay

The person that came up with the list is either an Aboki or an Igbo..

How will you post a list of states that are being short-changed to pay others, pushing to collect VAT in their state and claim they can't survive without allocations from FG. Let them manage their resources and see if they will survive or not.

Whoever came up with this useless list is naive.. the only states that won't survive without FG allocations are in the SE, NE and maybe parts of NC.

Let regions start keeping their wealth first and see who will suffer.

Ikechukwu why??

See how sad you've made Sandra despite all the love and faithfulness she showed you. It's not fair o.

Sammy101111:
Yes you are right lol girls can play games my last relationship of almost 3 years thought me a great lesson never give a woman more attention than she deserves let her Starve for you and always be ahead of the game . My ex did worse than this i spent all my energy money and my hardship on her to let her know am honest with her now she bleeped up and weve been apart for 4 month now the guy she was datung after me gave her break fast sharp when billing too much now she post this stupid twitter quote on whats and i read and read nothing make sense there that shows that the current guy is dated last was rich but could not provide lol now she is regretting texting happy new year and happy new month i no they even reply

Just imagine..
Women and their tricks ehnn.

Eyah.. you're probably still in your teens.
It's a phase you'll pass so just keep it cool. You too should have other girls as friends and shower them with affection. Las las the 'efori' will go round.

In 8-12yrs from now, when you've had several entanglements, you'll look back and smile. It's part of the experience growing up.

Sammy101111:
Bro some people no they learn oh
Never let a lady fool you by sex
If she like open leg from morning to night you cant win my heart with sex never again .
A lady can dectect a mans week point just with ordinary sex . she knows how you feel when you grind her she knows how you feel when you come
As a man always try to give woman 30% of your heart and 70% of you so if she do anything crazy it wont hurt you too much

The most scary part is that the said girl might be in a "no sex till marriage" relationship with the other guy she is planning to marry but is getting bonked steady by this OP and maybe others..
If one is not careful with that gender, you'll either have your seeds under another man's roof or you have another man's seeds under your own roof.
